Current Open Positions:

Becoming an MDFT supervisor

To become certified, supervisors must satisfactorily complete a five- to six-month intensive training program in supervision that includes onsite training, a written examination, review of two to four DVD recordings of supervision work samples, and monthly consultation phone calls. Once certified, a supervisor must be recertified annually. Only certified MDFT therapists are eligible to become MDFT supervisors. Previous supervisory experience is not necessary (or sufficient) to begin training as an MDFT supervisor.

Supervisor qualifications:

Master's degree in social work, family therapy, counseling, psychology or other related clinical field

Certified as an MDFT therapist (Note: For an agency new to MDFT that does not have any certified therapists to fulfill the supervisor role, we work with the agency to designate somebody with potential as the MDFT supervisor and train this "Lead Therapist" first as a therapist and then as a supervisor.)
